I'm afraid that you don't have a choice you have to tell your mother so that she can cancel her credit card and possibly get her money back. Otherwise these scam artist will milk your family dry, all they want is your payment details so that they can re-use them whenever they want to.

Bite the bullet and get your family finances out from under these crooks that you have given them to.

really? But the bank said they can't stop the payment...
Awww... I am so in trouble(´・ω・`)

All the information I gave them is the credit card number and the card of the period of validity, and the number of the back of the card, and address. But the address I gave them isn't correct one but they accepted...

Does anyone think i should tell my family and stop the card??(´・ω・`)

Most CCs have an anti-fraud policy, the card holder can get their money back if they can prove that:

a) the card was used without their permission or

b) the goods described were not those supplied.

there may be other reasons but those or the ones I can think of at the moment.

But back to the scam artists, can you really risk your family because you are afraid you are going to get into trouble? The scammers can do more harm to your family than your mum could ever do to you.

360Share Pro is robbery
 
I paid for lifetime support with 360Share pro but almost immediately found that their support is unavailable. Neither the user name nor password supplied were recognised. I gave my email and got a new password only to get the message "Specified client not found". That means I can't contact them at all - no address, no phone number and no email.

The agreement allows for 7 day cancellation period but I can't contact them to cancel.

Gullible me!

You should contact your bank/CC company & report this. They might be able to cancel the transaction... most will have a department to deal with scams/fraud.

Did you get a receipt when you paid? Or an automated reply? Have a look & see of there's a phone number or email address on that.

I'm not sure if there's anything about 360Share in this thread. Even so, you might find something useful

purchase limewire upgrade for $18.88
 
I'm affraid I was one of the jerks who paid $18.88 for limewire pro. But I learned my lesson. I thought I was paying for a better, faster limewire but all I got was scammed.
I tried to contact limewire support, but to no avail. I paid with my paypal tried to stop payment by going to the credit card and requesting a hold, they held it for 30 days but the payment ended up going through anyway. Then my program started acting wierd, I couldn't get any downloads, everytime I clicked on a song it connected me with the internet to a site advertizing paid downloads.:cool: I finally got fed up. I uninstalled limewire pro, cut my losses and reinstalled the free version of limewire and I haven't had any problems since.
I'll never pay for limewire pro again seeing that the free version does exactly the same thing as pro.

hi

targy2006 October 5th, 2006 06:56 AM

Remember thet the only official site is www.limewire.com. I just renewed my subscription to LimewirePRO and it was only $14.50, thanks Limewire!!!. I will always subscribe to Limewire becuase they are fighting the giants at the RIAA and not backing down so I know that my fee is going to a great cause. So do not give to spammers as that money goes to people who are not concerned with your best interest and only in how much money they can scam from you
